That has nothing to do with SOGo.
Email is 7bit (== ASCII) per nature.
Which means every 8 bit content has to be escaped.
For attachments usually that is achieved by base64 encoding.
That encoding encodes 2 8-bit bytes into 3 7-bit bytes.
Because of that attachments increase by 50% in size.
That is always the case with every email client there is!!!
Now you have to add the email header and the content.
If you send your emails as HTML emails, then you get the content twice.
First time is without formatting as plain text, second one is with HTML
formatting.
If you also have some embedded pictures (base64 encoded) as logos in
your signature, then that adds to the email size too.
Conclusion:
1) Don't use email for file transfer.
2) Avoid HTML emails if possible.
Kind regards,
